I had half a package of cream cheese that needed to be used up and I really wanted chocolate chip cookies so I figured surely there must be a recipe… a quick google blog search led me to baking blonde and a really delicious recipe that’s definitely being added to my regular cookie repertoire!

Oh my. I didn’t need a new favorite cookie recipe, but I will make an exception with this one! So easy and delicious and dense and chewy and addictive. Plus, the no-egg recipe is great for guilt free dough consumption ;) Gracias to the person that posted this link on Facebook!

I personally just roll my cookie dough by hand into little balls, and then bake them. It works really well, just a little messy. I should give the scoops a try though, I never thought to use them. They look like Ice cream scoops :)

I am getting ready to pop these in the oven! My roommate and coworkers are so excited! I know they are going to turn out so delicious because I tried the dough and it was amazing! Thanks for this recipe :)

I bet this recipe is good. My favorite chocolate chip cookies are really similar, but without the cream cheese and with a few variations. I love cream cheese in brownies and frosting, but never thought about adding it to cookies. They look nice and thick, and delicious!

I just made these cookies and I think they are absolutely delicious. I used 6oz of cream cheese and let the dough sit over night. I also used chocolate vanilla morsels and white chocolate chips. I love that they aren’t cakey! Thank you for sharing!

I have celiacs disease so I had to substitute gluten free flour for regular all-purpose flour and they turned out AMAZING! I took them to a picnic and nobody could believe they were gluten free. Thanks for the recipe! :)

I just made these and didn’t read that the butter was supposed to be melted. So I just made the dough like I usually do, with the butter soft enough to cream with the sugar and it worked just fine! Great recipe, thanks for sharing!

A guy at work made these for a recent bake sale fundraiser we had and they were delicious. My kids decided these would be the recipe we made for santa this year. Just got the first cookie tray out of the oven and they look AMAZING! Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for the easy recipe :-))

good question! I’m trying to get into the habit of adding the recipe yield as people have began asking but I honestly can’t remember…you should be able to get about 4 dozen cookies though, depending on size!

I was able to get about 3-4 dozen cookies using about 1 tbsp of dough per cookie. If I used the recommended 2 tbsp of dough, I think I would’ve only gotten 18 cookies or so. The cookies were tasty although a little too sweet for me. Next time, I will cut the sugar by at least 25%. They were also super greasy as my parchment paper and baking sheet were soaked with butter after baking.

Thanks for the info on the amount of cookies the recipe yielded! I’ve not had an issue with them being greasy, was your oven up to temperature when they started baking? That’s really the only thing I can think of that may cause them to leave so much fat behind?

I have been making something similar with the addition of egg and grated orange zest for over 50 years (a recipe handed down by my grandmother). Yes, they do freeze well because my mother used to freeze them in tins in the utility room freezer and my father (in his 90’s) would sneak in the back door (daylight basement) and eat them straight out of the tin. Mom would go down to find a tin to thaw and it would be empty.

I did half the mix with no egg as stated and half with a small egg. Let me tell you if you like the denser more gooey type cookie go as is. If your looking for a more cakey type like other recipes then go with the egg as all it did was make it fluffier.Some said in other reviews the cream cheese makes it cakey but they are wrong it is the egg. I also did a mix with no egg and two tbs of orange rind zest and those are also very good if you like a slight hint of orange flavor just another way to enjoy this recipe. So eggless is the way to go here..

I also used a butter sub smart balance and cut it to 1/2 cup and used more fat free cream cheese a full 8 oz every time I have made them to get rid of some of the fat and seems to be just fine. a gooey dense cookie.

First of all, YUM! I just made these today, but added egg and used 2 cups of chocolate chips. I also raised my oven temp to 375, because I like my cookies a little brown! They came out delicious! I love the cream cheese flavor. I am not a chocolate chip cookie lover, but these I love! My grandson graded them 100 %!

I was looking for a reciepe for some cream cheese cookies and found this one. All I have is white chocolate and buttetscotch chips, and want to add pecans. Do you think those flavors will taste o with the cream cheese ? I am going to try the eggless version. Thanks for the idea.

Wow! I had a half block of cream cheese and didn’t want to put it back into the fridge to dry out. I searched and found this GLORIOUSLY DELICIOUS recipe! I added 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and a bag of toffee bits. They turned out perfectly! Definitely did not need any eggs and were, by far, the best cookie recipe I’ve tried in quite a while. A definite keeper!
